RIL – Minimalist Grooved Pen Holder / Plant Pot

“Designed for tools or greenery, always in rhythm.”

Inspired by Scandinavian design principles, RIL is a study in form, light, and utility. Its name comes from the Scandinavian word for “groove,” perfectly reflecting the pleated surface that defines its character. With clean vertical ridges that cast shifting shadows throughout the day, RIL transforms from a simple object into a small architectural statement for your home or workspace.

Designed with versatility at its core, RIL adapts to your lifestyle. Use it as a refined pen holder to bring order to your desk, or as a modern planter for small succulents, cacti, or air plants. Its sculptural grooves add rhythm and tactility, while the neutral tone ensures it blends seamlessly into any environment — from a sleek office to a cozy living room.

Minimalist yet expressive, RIL embodies the Scandinavian ethos of combining beauty with everyday functionality. Whether organizing tools, nurturing greenery, or simply standing alone as a design object, RIL brings calm, rhythm, and balance to your space.

And because this is my very first design on Thangs, I’m making it free to try — an open invitation to bring a touch of Scandinavian minimalism into your everyday life.
